@amberpep I recall reading your posts in several different discussions. What resources have you checked out that are available to you in your area, your county? Is there a senior services agency that help you, or have you considered taking a room in a private residence, where your living expenses would be less? What about moving back to the area you left, since you seem to be so unhappy where you are now? Or moving in with one of your children?

Hi Ginger ... I guess I do keep harping on the same thing over and over .... I'm sorry. I can't move back to where I was as without a job I could never afford it, even with my son's help. Believe me, if I could, I would. I went to the Senior Center twice now and it was awful ... just a group of my age folks gossiping while they quilted, read their book, or knitted. Talk about depressing! I know more about their surgeries and medications than I ever needed to know. There's only 1 child I would want to live with and, in a joking way I mentioned it about a month or so ago. Her response? "Oh my no." I can't imagine living in someone else's house. I know my girlfriend up in MD has a woman from her church renting a room from her and it works well. But they knew each other for years. Again, I'm sorry to keep harping on this ..... I know it gets tiresome for you all.
